When he returned to the palace, Chu Huaixi saw that he looked very unhappy, and guessed that the posthumous title conferred on Du Jiuniang would definitely not go smoothly.

As soon as I brought a cup of snow pear water for reducing internal heat to Lu Linchu, he knocked it to the ground.

Seeing that it was Chu Huaixi, Lu Linchu apologized immediately with a distressed look on his face: "Huaixi, I am not targeting you, but these pedantic warriors do not understand my painstaking efforts and do not allow me to posthumously confer the title of Jiu Niang. I am a little angry."

"The servant knows."

Chu Huaixi said: "Those people in the army don't understand the feelings between Your Majesty and Sister Du, and it's not their fault."

After thinking for a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "It's not difficult to say this. When the Queen, the First Prince, and Princess Yu arrive in Weng City, Your Majesty can mention it to the Queen. The Queen has always been kind and polite. Even if you don't consider anything else, even if it's because of pity for the First Prince and Princess Yu, they will be willing to share Your Majesty's worries."

Lu Linchu sighed, "To be honest, this matter does undermine Gui Yun's dignity. After all, I haven't officially conferred the title on her yet, but I conferred the title on Jiu Niang first, which is a bit unfair to her."

"It's just a posthumous title."

Chu Huaixi smiled and said, "Even if the queen is stingy, she won't bother with a dead person, Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Lu Linchu thought the same thing at first.

Chu Huaixi continued, "After all, she is the biological mother of the eldest prince and Princess Yu. I think the queen would not want the biological mother of her children to be criticized all the time."

After careful consideration, Lu Linchu decided to write a letter back to test Gui Yun's attitude.

After all, as Lu Linfeng said, she has worked hard for the Lu family over the years and almost fell into despair several times. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard.

Without her, there would be no Lu family today, let alone the current Daning. I cannot let her suffer any injustice again.

Thinking of the twins that Fangyi gave birth to, Lu Linchu felt even more grateful to her.

Ever since Fangyi became pregnant, Guiyun has been taking care of her and her two children. She has never been left to worry. If it weren't for Guiyun, she was afraid that she would have ended up like her father, with no offspring.

Thinking of this, he silently gave up the idea of ​​testing and decided not to confer a posthumous title for the time being. He only ordered Lu Linxue to return to Liyang as soon as possible to reunite with his family.

……

As winter passed and spring came, with the funeral of the late emperor and the empress dowager over, Liyang City gradually returned to peace.

After the Liren Gang retreated to Dali and Ye An led the Huayi City's death squad into the city, Lu Yan's army also almost completely retreated to outside the city and stationed there.

Without the tense situation, the atmosphere in the entire Liyang City became much more relaxed.

Upon learning that Lu Linchu had defeated the Alkh Cavalry, the people of the entire city were immersed in cheers.

Fu Guiyun knew that he had to go north earlier so that he could buy Lu Linzhi some breathing time.

But as the departure was imminent, there was still no news from Prince Zhong's mansion, which made her tense heart even more uneasy.

At the end of the first month, Imperial Physician Liu came hurriedly to report: "Empress, Prince Zhong finally showed signs of recovery."

"Including today, he has been in a coma for a month and a half. Imperial Physician Liu, are you really sure that Prince Zhong has been in a coma all this time?"

Fu Guiyun always felt that something was wrong. With Doctor Xue's miraculous medicine and Lu Linzhi's good physical condition, even if he suffered a severe blow, he would not have been in a coma for so long.

"Empress, His Royal Highness Prince Zhong's body was already covered with scars, and this time he suffered such a severe setback. It was not easy for him to wake up."

Imperial Physician Liu said, "He is completely unconscious right now. I'm afraid there is too much blood clots in his body. He won't be able to get out of bed for a while and will be paralyzed in bed."

Cheng Kui sighed beside him, thinking of Prince Zhong's wounds, and couldn't help crying: "Queen, you should understand Prince Zhong's suffering. In the past year, he led the troops to fight for Daning. His old wounds have not healed and he has new ones. The death of the late emperor and the empress dowager made him heartbroken. When I went to visit him, His Highness was still in a daze and was rarely awake."

Fu Guiyun nodded after thinking about it, and dismissed Imperial Physician Liu first.

Seeing her indifferent look, Cheng Kui was extremely anxious and reminded her carefully: "Is the Queen going to see His Royal Highness Prince Zhong? I'm afraid it will be difficult to return to Liyang after going north this time."

"Xiao Kuizi, you are loyal to me and His Majesty, but how dare you say such outrageous words?"

Looking at Cheng Kui coquettishly, Fu Guiyun said coldly: "Do you want to frame me as disloyal and Prince Zhong as unjust?"

Cheng Kui didn't know whether she was testing him or really accusing him, but he was promoted by Prince Zhong after all, from a bullied and unknown eunuch to the steward of the Lu family. He admired the Queen, but he didn't want Prince Zhong to be treated so unfairly.

He fell to his knees and said sincerely, "Queen, I dare not hide it from you. I do sympathize with Prince Zhong and am grateful for his and the Queen Mother's cultivation of me. But I would never dare to be disrespectful to the Queen. I just hope that the Queen will go to see Prince Zhong. He has devoted his whole life to the Lu family and Daning, and he should not be so suspicious of you."

At this point, his voice gradually choked up: "Although I have not always been with Prince Zhong, I understand his pain best. When the Queen Mother and the late Emperor decided to take him out of the palace, he was destined not to be the heir of the palace. He was worried about Emperor Hui's plot. He saw his father and mother in front of him every day but could not recognize them. Even the girl he loved could only watch him become someone else's wife..."

"do not talk."

Fu Guiyun felt sad after hearing this. Cheng Kui was so frightened that he immediately bowed his head to the ground and could only sob silently.

"Xiao Kuizi, since you know that your master is in a bad situation and is being treated unfairly, you should think more about him."

Fu Guiyun advised: "How many eyes in Liyang City are staring at Prince Zhong's residence right now? The Queen Mother never dared to step out of Changchun Palace until her death. Didn't she want to see her son for the last time? She wanted to be with Prince Zhong more than anyone else. Wasn't everything she did to protect Prince Zhong?"

"But Prince Zhong has lost his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen. His only hope now is the queen."

Cheng Kui said, "I'm afraid that Prince Zhong saw through your Majesty's character and was worried about the Queen's safety. That's why he was so irrational and disrespectful to the Queen on the day the spirit guard came back. I'm worried that after the Queen left, Prince Zhong would not understand your painstaking efforts and would do something foolish."

His words reminded Fu Guiyun.

Lu Linzhi's personality is really complicated. He has accompanied her silently for two lifetimes, but she has always been kept in the dark. If this man really wants to plan something big, I'm afraid he will do it without anyone knowing.

But the current situation is completely unfavorable to him. She is really worried that this man will be as reckless as he was on the day of protecting the spirit, causing Lu Linchu and everyone to focus their attention on him.

It seems that before leaving, I really need to meet him to make sure that he has no other intentions.

At least, for now, he has no choice but to endure.
